A CPU Instruction Set Details




Format:

BCzF offset

Description:

A branch target address is computed from the sum of the address of the instruction in the delay slot and the 16-bit offset, shifted left two bits and sign-extended. If coprocessor z's condition signal (CpCond), as sampled during the previous instruction, is false, then the program branches to the target address with a delay of one instruction.

Because the condition line is sampled during the previous instruction, there must be at least one instruction between this instruction and a coprocessor instruction that changes the condition line.

Operation:

*See the table "Opcode Bit Encoding" on next page, or "CPU Instruction Opcode Bit Encoding" at the end of Appendix A.



Exceptions:

Coprocessor unusable exception
